Answer:
500 grams
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say that the total number of grams of the sample is x. We know that 30% of x is salt and we also know this quantity is 150 grams. So, we can write this as:
30% * x = 150
Remember that % is simply "out of 100", so 30% = 30/100 = 0.30. Then:
0.30 * x = 150
Divide both sides by 0.30:
x = 500 grams
Hope this helps!
The equation is 314 = 1,200 - 240x
1,200 is the number of M&M's it starts with
The problem said the family eats 1/5th of the candy every day
1/5 of 1,200 is 240
It is a -240 because the amount of m&m's is getting fewer each day
The x stands for the number of days
Sorry but I'm not sure if I could answer your problem exactly
The answer is 3.69 days
Because there isn't an exact day that there would exactly 314 M&M's left
The storage box is 9 feet deep.
